Rating: Summary: A Powerful Message Review: Have just received this book and find it is easy to read and thought-provoking. It's the first thing by this author that I've read. He has a simple message - "Act". Nothing can be accomplished unless you have a goal and take the first step to reach it. Do wish it had an index so subjects could be referred to quicker.
Rating: Summary: Great reading...and re-reading! Review: This is a book I keep re-reading! It sure is refreshing that "we" control how we think and not any outside influences. Robbins distills a great deal of hopeful and helpful information. I realize when he first wrote the book, he was a practicioner of "Neuro-Linguistic-Programing" which he has modified into "Neuro-Associative Conditioning". I enjoyed the re-prints of some of my favorite cartoonists...especially "The Dark Side" when the sheep stands up in the middle of the flock and shouts, "Wait, we all don't have to be sheep!" I also mastered a new skill in how to figure out one's strategy by how they shift their eyes when asked a question. Now I know if anyone is Visual, Audio, or Kinesthetic, so I can communicate better and have better rapport skills in the process. And it has helped me as a psychotherapist with some of my more challenging clients. I originally thought it was a bunch of new age gobblety-goop. But it is fun reading and I just couldn't put it down. I re-read it at least once a year. This book has powerful information. Read it, use it, make your life go for the best results. It's cool. It works (if you take action). Master it, and take your life to a new level.
Rating: Summary: BUY THIS BOOK, and then BUY ONE FOR A FRIEND ! Review: This is soooo unlike other self-help material I've experienced, it is very specific and methodical. Tony Robbins touches on Neuro-Associative Conditioning, NLP, human nature and more ! Afer reading the book twice through and putting some things into action, A) I've acheived some important goals, and B) I have a real problem appreciating some other self-help material that now seems rather...lame, that is, not based upon any methodical and scientific thinking. I've given this book to friends, it's really packed with great and applicable stuff. I'm writing this review because I'm back on Amazon to buy another copy for a friend. Read it, you won't be sorry.
Rating: Summary: A powerful book when you apply the basic principles Review: I have never read a book that was so true to form. It was so well written interms of understanding and grasping the knowledge. It creates a whole new meaning to life when the information is applied. This book has many powerful elements that can direct individuals to taking control of their lives. Really two books rolled into one. Thank Mr Robbins one day i do hope we will meet.
Rating: Summary: This book will change your life, if you let it! Review: I bought this book 5 years ago and it changed my life. I have since improved my health and realtionships, increased my income by nearly 10 fold and i feel I have a life understanding- less stress and more happiness. Change your life for the better, buy it, read it, live it.
Rating: Summary: Pretty well written book Review: I like this book because I truly believe Tony is sincere in helping others through tough times. The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it wasn't fun to read. There were many detail stuff which I didn't really need to do or follow. So I had to skip paragraph here and paragraph there. I had the opportunity to listen to his entire 30-day tape set. And let me tell you! It is entirely different than reading his book as far as acquiring information is concerned. I was so motivated from his tapes because he has such strong presence and energetic voice. He speaks to you as if he is really there with you. He conveys his energy and message very effectively. There were many instances I truly felt he is sincere and want you to succeed unlike some others who are just out to make quick bucks from consumers. Overall I do recommend his book but if you are truly into motivating yourself and don't mind paying extra then get the tapes.
Rating: Summary: THIS BOOK COMBINES THE KNOWLEDGE OF 500 OTHERS OR MORE Review: Tony has simplified life and the strategies to make it enjoyable for everyone. Are you depressed, overweight, stressed out, or feel out of control? READ THIS BOOK! Easy reading and easy apllication of techniques shared by the "Giant." For those of you who are afraid it will contain some religous outlook or cult angle - Not At All. What Tony teaches can be used by anyone, regardless of religion, to increase the quality of their life and the ones they love. BUY IT!
Rating: Summary: This Book Saved My Life ( ...along with many other books ) Review: In 1997 when I lived in the Westree Apartments in Colorado Springs, I found myself being "gangbanged". Understanding some basic psychology and being familiar with Operant Behavior Conditioning due to an enlistment at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, I turned to this book, as I could see what others were definately trying to do as I rode the City Bus.This book was a gift from my Landlady back in Boulder, Colorado when I was a student attending CU@Boulder, CO U.S.A. I read the thing back then, didn't make much sense but when I was being "dopplegangled" ( where someone trys to become your twin, bowing over as if they were trying to help you assume you are getting sleepy, sleepy, sleepy...)naturally, I would go over and introduce myself! I always wanted to meet my twin brother! After all, the bus was in motion, so should I be, too. Dare to be Friendly, Assume the Best, be Prepared for the Worst. The reader should read this with a grain of salt. Many of the techniques will not make sense untli later, or until one asks a Willing Tutor who only works for food - Breakfast is cheap, so's Lunch. Of course, one could TRY to do everything alone...
Rating: Summary: A life changing book! Review: I bought this book and the tape of the same name. I found that the tape reinforced the material in the book. At the time, I was like a miniture version of Anthony Robbins; i.e. newly divorced, out of work, alone and afraid (sound familiar) Thanks to Tony Robbins techniques, I turned all of that around in record breaking time. I particularly liked and make rapid progress from the swish pattern and anchoring techniqes. My financial life was also a mess. Some of Tony's techiques got me back on track and from Tony's advice on a Power Talk Tape, I bought More Wealth without Risk by Charles Givens. This book did as much for me financially as Anthony Robbins great book and tape did for me on a personal development level. I highly recommend both. Unlimited Power is possibly the very best Personal Development book everwritten. Thank you Tony.
Rating: Summary: Life gives you what you ask of it... Review: I have learnt a lot from this book, I knew that life will always give me what I asked of it, but it was never this clear. I now know how to ask questions in a way that I get answered completely and satifactorily. I know that the words "NO" do not mean stop trying or give up, thanks to Tony
